Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Drones are the big thing these days, whether they be used by people for plain old fun or being flown over Apple's new spaceship campus as it is being built, drones are fast becoming a factor of life rather than something just a few have any experience of.

Google announced back in January that it would be offering support for 360-degree video 'within weeks.' Technically, today fits within that timescale which is just dandy, because of this very date people can now watch a selection of 360-degree videos on YouTube.
There are already plenty of books that purport to tell the true story of Steve Jobs.

An app going by the name of Tether makes locking and unlocking your Mac a case of walking away from, or towards your desk. More details can be found right here.
Apple's new Force Touch technology could be about to make its way to the iPhone with this year's iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, according to a new report. The technology, which allows devices to sense the force applied during a tap and then give haptic feedback in response to it, first made its debut when Apple announced the Apple Watch late last year.
